"Today's Republican party has a serious antisemitism problem"...

The easy acceptance and amplification of all sorts of anti-Jewish hate that party leaders engage in emboldens all the worst bigots, raving racists, and far-right extremists across the globe, all the while threatening Jewish people here and everywhere.
So it is more than a little rich that House Republicans voted on Thursday to remove Omar from the foreign affairs committee, where she’s served since 2019, because, they say, of her antisemitic views."

Should we ignore anti-Semitism on the far-left because there is anti-Semitism on the right?

Somehow doesn't seem like a good solution.

was not so much about their viewing her as 'anti-Semitic' (which is a view that is widely accepted among them) ... It's mainly about her being Muslim, a person of color, and an outspoken woman. Those are the qualities that offend the Maga-publicans the most.
